Adventures at the Dinner Table


Food is a big deal these days in our house. Not necessarily because Zoe likes eating it, but more because we're trying to get her to eat it. Added to that, I'm trying to wean her as well, so we've been adding cow's milk to her diet. However, there seems to have been digestive issues so we have to go a bit more slowly. Though I like the quiet time with Zoe, oftentimes she's really not that peaceful when I'm nursing her - hands moving and slapping and poking, head whipping in another direction from the food source, or some occasional crying (because, honestly kid, the supply is just dwindling already!). These days she will sometimes sit still for a meal or a bottle, and prefers that water, and only water, be served out of her sippy cup. As you can see in the video, she oftentimes needs a toy during a meal. So goes it.



She does eat, even if it's while running through the house or sitting on the floor, and she will drink water, so at least she's getting something. She is just so much happier with a full stomach (much like myself), so we're still exploring ways to make that happen for our sake as well as hers ;)
